Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective December 15, 2015, the Board of Directors of Celsion Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), appointed Dr. Andreas Voss and Dr. Donald Braun as Class III Directors. Both Dr. Voss and Dr. Braun fill previously vacant seats.
Both Dr. Voss’ and Dr. Braun’s Class III terms will expire at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2016. At the present time, neither Dr. Voss nor Dr. Braun has been appointed to any committees of the Company's Board of Directors. Dr. Voss and Dr. Braun will receive standard non-employee director fees, including an initial grant of stock options under the Company's 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock, vesting in three installments over three years, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value thereof on the effective date determined in accordance with the Plan. The outside director compensation plan is described in more detail in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement for its 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 30, 2015.
The Board of Directors has determined that both Dr. Voss and Dr. Braun are each an independent director in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and The NASDAQ National Market. Neither Dr. Voss nor Dr. Braun has any relationship with the Company that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K.
On December 17, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the foregoing matters, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
